Will Myers Shares a Lesson on the Basics of Woodturning for Woodworkers
In the above video Will Myers teaches the basics of woodturning for woodworkers. He starts by showing how to prepare and center the wood, then discusses woodturning tools & parts of the lathe. And finally he begins roughing out a spindle for a classic cherry shaker candle table. This tutorial comes from the class and DVD: “Building the Hancock Shaker Candle Stand with Will Myers“. If you’d like to build this historical candle stand along side Will Myers, you can register here for the upcoming 3 day class at my school. It will be held Thursday – Saturday, May 10th-12th, 2018 in Earlysville, Virginia.
You can also purchase the DVD or Digital Download video in my store here.
Part 2 of this tutorial will be released in a few days, so make sure that you’re on our newsletter list (here) so you can be notified! Here are a few more photos of this charming candle stand:

I enjoyed the video with the exception of a safety concern.
If I had used a lathe in shop class with my sleeves rolled back like that I would have gotten an earful. Loose clothing around rotating machinery can be disastrous. If you are selling videos to beginners then please err on the side of caution with respect to safety.
Thank you for your concern Steve. Everyone has their opinion on safe practices, and Will is always highly concerned with safety. His thoughts on safety practices may differ from others. His thoughts may or may not reflect our own thoughts.
